Congratulation on your weight...Dear Frank and Fern,<br />Congratulation on your weight loss. I to have chosen to eat healthy. I watched my sister-in-law die of colon cancer. it was awful. I feel good, no health problems. I have eaten whole foods, organic when I can. I have been trying to make homemade cleaning products, personal care and food. I tried the baking soda shampoo, It made my hair break off. I tried it for a couple months, unfortunately I couldn't use it. Thanks for all you do. I am trying to prepare as best I can. The price keeps going up on clothes, food, health care products etc. I plan on doing more research on making as much as I can. Most people don't listen and when I try to talk about improving their health, they don't listen. I get ridiculed. I am committed to keep at it. God bless you.

First, the reason for using a stick blender is because it is fully immersed in the soap while mixing and does not splatter. Splattering lye would not be a good thing so be careful if you choose to use the whisk. Second, there are two types of lye. Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH)is the lye crystals that you link to and what is most commonly used in making a bar of soap. Potassium hydroxide (KOH)is made from wood ash. Although I have not used it yet, I have read that it makes a soft or liquid soap. It would take a different recipe than using sodium hydroxide. Here is the soap calculator that I use. It give you the option of NaOH or KOH. http://soapcalc.net/calc/SoapCalcWP.aspAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-80421560972966099782016-01-04T13:04:26.923-06:002016-01-04T13:04:26.923-06:00Congrats on all of your accomplishments :)

It's always amazing how such simple, relatively speaking, changes can be so powerful. <br /><br />This is my month for my 6 mo. checkups. For my primary care my questions are going to be about getting off the statin and the aspirin and for my dermatologist what chemicals to avoid in personal care products. He, by the way, is a proponent of eating organic whole foods.<br /><br />I realize time is a precious commodity but you might be interested in http://www.therealtruthabouthealth.com/2015-conference-replays or at least the speakers who, I believe, all have posts on Youtube and many also have written books. Plus Dr. Robert Lustig, about sugar's role in poor health, also on Youtube and Dr. Michael Greger of Nutritionfacts.org. Granted, many of these speakers advocate a meat,dairy,egg free diet but they also advocate not using chemicals, pesticides, drugs, and a host of other non-natural additives.<br /><br />The best to you and yours in the coming new year. May it be filled with love & peace.Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249001827113998376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7003348645601520194.post-50882381442487028742016-01-02T23:40:00.364-06:002016-01-02T23:40:00.364-06:00wow on the weight loss.wow on the weight loss.deb harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05110992898072146282noreply@blogger.com
